When will an update be done for the 2016 class, i am missing Grayson Allen and Ivan Rabb for sure?

Both of those guys will start off in my 2017 class.

Been lurking on this site forever but I wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into this. I have used your draft classes for every MYGM version of 2k Ive played.

Also, A lot of these players come into the league and are actually putting up numbers. Its actually really cool to keep an eye on the Rookie of the Year race.

Ben Simmons is a monster though. Got drafted by Orlando in my league. He is putting up 16/7/4 and just got voted into the All-Star game.

Hey Pace, I was wondering if you could drop tutorials for Yogi and Buddy, I'm doing classes on the X1, and can use some help on a few players.

Thanks for the great work man. U said about 30 players were complete in the 2017 file, is there a list of which ones are done? The top 30 what?

Re: Full 2016 Draft Class w/Accurate Faces+Ratings (PS4)

A couple requests- I saw Dywane Bacon & Rabb are in 2017 class, but could you add Wade Baldwin IV & Kahlil Felder to 2016? Baldwin is projected at #8 now by Bleacher Report, even drawing a Westbrook comp & Felder is up to 28. Also for 2017, I'd like to see Lonzo Ball added with all the Chino Hills HS craze. Even if you don't add them, these classes are phenomenal & you did a great job & I love using them!

Wade Baldwin is in my 2017 class. I'm planning on adding Felder to the 2016 class at some point.

Uthoff! 16'

Is he guaranteed to declare for the draft?

Re: Full 2016 Draft Class w/Accurate Faces+Ratings (PS4)

Wish he didn't have to, but he's a redshirt SR.

wasup @embracethapace. First off i want to say great work on the 2016 and 2017 draft class. I know this may be a bit much to read but its for your and anyone who read it benefit.
Ive been downloading and reading about your classes on operationsports for two years!. Now i have finally decided to join and leave feedback after two years of roster editing on my own. Your ratings are great and you've done a good job with the accuracy of the faces. i have a few of my own feedback and discoveries while editing yours plus other people draft class bases i would like to give that i hope will only enhance your class edits.

-- I think Skal Labissiere should be in the 2017 draft class instead of 2016 and Ivan Rabb should be in 2016 instead of 2017. I understand you previously stated to have a few 2016 prospects in 2017 and i think this would be a realistic switch. Skal has looked horrible this season and definitely look like he will/should return to school to raise his draft stock (which has now fallen to the bottom of the draft) and Rabb has looked every bit of a lotto pick this season along with Jaylen Brown. If you do decide to keep Rabb in 2017 draft then i would suggest rating him higher because 1 more realistic season in the NCAA will only improve his already top 10 draft status.

-- I have noticed that potential plays a large role in the order cpu teams draft players. maybe this will help you like it helps me when trying to get the draft tiers down for prospects as well as their future role after they get drafted in our myLeagues.

99-93 - A+ (HOF Potential i.e. MJ, Magic)
92-88 - A (Franchise Player Potential i.e. LeBron, Curry, Brow)
87-86 - A- (All-Star Potential i.e. LaMarcus Aldridge , Paul George, Lillard)
85-82 - B+ (Fringe All-Star Potential i.e. Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, Rondo)
81-77 - B (Starter/Six man Potential i.e. Lou Williams, L. Deng, H. Whiteside)
76-72 - B- (Rotational Player Potential)
71-69 - C+ (Bench Warmer Career)
68-67 - C (Reserve/D-League)
66 & lower - (towel holder lol)

(a small tidbit, whoever you believe should be top pick/ROY 2k normally rate them around 81-83 in the next game release based on years past, I normally start my draft class base edits with the top pick to have a 81-83 overall. Also, when you look at the rookie cards for a lot of the all-star players their ratings are around 81-83 as well i.e. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving rating was 82)

-- The only concern i have with your draft classes is the number of defensive prospects. I have yet to sim 8 years to see how the prospects develop but i do think i theory that since its so many high offensive players that myLeague will suffer from horrendous defense. I do believe some of these prospects will develop into good defenders or become "3 & D" players in RL. I guess a suggestion would be to make the players that don't have starter potential more defense oriented with maybe one or two skills their good at (i.e. 3pt shooter/post player/rebounder/pure defender)

Once again, your draft classes are amazing and honestly don't need much tweaking. If it wasn't for the 2k server screwing up my uploads then i would offer my assistance to this project but i hope i have helped and you take some of my feedback into consideration as you experiment around with the potential and/or make a new update. Bless!
